Death of Rifleman Kevin Hessey

Date: Jan 31, 2009

Another Greenman taken by this awful disease, R.I.P Kevin you fought a brave fight . My deepest sympathy to all of his family and friends.

He will be missed by all who knew him. R.I.P. Rifleman

My sincere condolences to Kevin's family at this very sad time.

So very sorry to hear of Kevin's passing.
Kevin was in 9 Platoon with me, as a young Rifleman in 1972, and the Belfast Tour that year. I think he was still with us for the 73 Tour as well.
My thoughts are with his family at this sad time.

Hi, thankyou for your kind words. It's nice to hear from someone who knew him. I met a few of Kevin's pals, sorry, not sure if you were one of them. Jamie and Brendan spring to mind. Kevin only did one tour of NI. Regards, Lynn (sister)

Dear Lynn and Family,
Our thoughts and prayers are with you all at this sad, sad time.
Brother Rifleman, rest in peace.

We said our final farewell to Kevin yesterday. The service was lovely and very well attended. He always knew how to pull a crowd.
Thank you to eveyone who left a message, he'd be quite chuffed.
Lynn.
